on your knees
only
to do
useful things—
scrubbing tile
floors,
working-
out a little more
vector math,

you begin to notice
any kind
of distress, remember—
pretty much,
every single
thing you can

work equally
well—in reverse.

In the
end—it's never
the distemper
that does
you in.
You won't succumb
to an illness,
after all
this—but to
the enormous absolute
value—
of god-
damn
convalescence.
